The melody of Don’t Stand So Close To Me by The Police runs 235 notes across 52 bars, 2:38 long in Cm at 132 beats per minute. The tab sits low on the neck, mostly under the fourth fret, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
